"My sympathies and hopes are with the light of the future, only I should like it to come from nature. The clock should be read by the sunshine, not the sun timed by the clock."

"She loved beauty for its own sake—she loved the sunlight, the grass and trees, the gleaming water, the colours of the fields and of the sky."
Amaryllis at the Fair

We are still open next week during half-term, with our usual sessions on Tuesday and Thursday also welcoming primary school-aged children. These are now fully booked, but tickets for the following week's sessions will go on sale on 16th February.
